Jeff crap in the head 120 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Id be terrified every match if we played with 3 at the back. Dont have the quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 McGregorWhittaker - Bougherra - Webster - PapacRM/W Davis - Thomson - LM/WST - Miller Get a right and left sided midfielder in, along with a striker, and there is a decent starting 11. I'd love us to be able to bring in a couple of fullbacks, but that isn't going to happen. Kenny Miller isn't going to get dropped, and neither is David Weir, should he sign a new deal!?Lee McCulloch will no doubt be a regular aswell, forcing Davis onto the right.If Bougherra is sold, then we need to replace him with quality - not Broadfoot, Goncalves...

fonics7 1 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 i'm looking forward to seeing which players we bring in. can't see there being too many brought in to accomodate a 3-5-2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Good chance they will be. We don't exactly have the best of options up top; Lafferty, Miller, Fleck, Naismith and Velicka. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenose48 952 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 McGregor Webster Boughera Wilson EduWhittaker Davis Fleck Thomson Lafferty MillerIf they're all still here. I think Davis and Fleck as attacking midfielders would be excellent, not quite so sure about Lafferty up front but he's useless either wide left or right.

keithgersbear 3,225 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Walter will stick with the same formation we used last season. He isn't going to change that. Plus that is stupid, 3 at the back, a better standard of players is needed to make it work. Otherwise teams will just take advantage, be it long balls if the standard of players isn't up to that system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeautifulSeas 10 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I don't think Sasa could run up and down the touchline all day. Much better left back than wing back, IMO. The only real advantage would be having Weir sweeping, that way his lack of pace won't be an issue. Not for me, I prefer 4-4-2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boab 73 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Wouldn't be against it if we had some good wing-backs, Gregg and Whittaker on the other other might work.Magic could be the libero, bursting forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruddiger 7 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 4-3-1-2 would work with a more attacking LB than Sasa. Attacking players in Whittaker, New LB, Davis and Fleck would be balanced out by Edu and Thomo helping out the 2 CBs (WBs have to drop back as well when not in possession).Sasa is a good defender, but we will need more wide options if struggling to break teams down. Depends if Smith buys a wide player and if that player is a WB or a winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gid 46 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 no one has picked up the fact that we'd have quite possibly the slowest defender in the SPL right slap bang in the middle of our back 3,no thanks, 4-1-3-2 for meNonsense. If anything it would suit Weir much better than a flat back 4. Bougie and whoever else is playing there mark the strikers with Weir sweeping up behind. With his ability to read the game it would be perfect for him as yu don't need to be physically quick, just quick thinking.Having said that I still don't think we should do it as we don't have a left back who would fit the bill. Ironically Smith would have been better as a wing back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amac9 2,060 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 We don't have the players to play a 3-5-2. And I really hope we don't go with the usual 4-4-2 of Davis on the right, McCulloch and Thomson in CM and Lafferty/Naismith/Fleck on the left. I am not a massive fan of the 4-4-2 but if we are going to play it then it has to be with two wide men and Davis in the middle beside Thomson/Edu.I would also like to see a 4-3-3 tried at some stage with a midfield three of Davis-Edu-Thomson and Miller as the front man with support coming from Fleck/Lafferty/Naismith or some new faces? The 4-3-3 is a much more flexible formation that suits our players rather than pushing players out of position and having no width, balance or movement in the side.

Guest therabbitt Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I'd like to see us with that 4-3-3, it'd fit our players well.McGregor/AlexanderWhittaker/Broadfoot Weir/Webster Wilson/Bougherra Papac/WyldeEdu/McCulloch Thomson DavisMiller Lafferty/Velicka Fleck/NaismithTo be honest, the squad fits very well into that shape. Another left back, another striker and a wide midfielder, preferrably one that can play on both sides and we'd be in a great position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruddiger 7 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 correct me if I'm wrong but didn't we try a 4-3-3 last pre-season? At least once, possibly at the emirates against PSG? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bostongeorge 0 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 The only problem with that formation is that we dont have any1 that is naturally wide players something we might struggle a bit with going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
